Lockhart Gap

Lockhart Gap is a mountain viewpoint and trekking area in the Munnar region of Idukki district, Keralam. Keralam Tourism places it about 13 kilometres from Munnar and describes winding trails leading to scenic heights with views over valleys and plantations. The attraction is especially striking when low cloud moves through the gap or warm evening light falls across the tea-covered slopes.

The area is more than a roadside panorama. Lockhart Gap is associated with trekking country extending towards Chokramudi and nearby estates, giving active travellers opportunities to explore the changing high-range terrain. Tea gardens, steep hills and open views create a classic Munnar landscape, while the route itself is one of the scenic drives through the district.

The exact destination-level PIN and taluk are deliberately left blank here because authoritative sources place the viewpoint near a transition between Devikulam and Chinnakanal-area records and do not provide a sufficiently clear administrative match. Visitors should use current navigation and local guidance. Mist can reduce visibility quickly, and trekkers should confirm permissions, route conditions and guide requirements before leaving recognised public areas.
